Watstock, a Carl Freer company, has publicly announced that it is establishing a Hedge Fund. Only in Dubai would a known and documented liar and serial fraudster be allowed to announce the launch of a Hedge Fund. And, presumably, only in Dubai would a Government Official charged with maintaining the good name of Dubai and the King, be allowed to partner with him in the venture.

Carl Freer – read about his mafia connections, his crimes and his convictions

Someone who was there throughout the pitch for funds event described Carl Freer’s presentation as, “Entertaining, skilful, slick and seductive, but . . .”, he added, “. . . empty”. If he had NOT conducted his due diligence on Carl Freer he may well have been added to the list of losers that were taken in by the latest Carl Freer scam. Although it was not stated during the event, the fund has been set up as a “Two and Twenty” so that Carl Freer, no matter how much money he loses everyone else, will always be a winner. No surprise there – It’s the same basic premise as every one of his scams; and when exposed he will leave the country and relocate somewhere else – Out of reach of his business partners – Out of reach of the authorities – Out of reach of investors.

Abdullah Al Mansoori is Carl Freer’s meal ticket in Dubai. He is the one that gives Carl Freer the wasta he needs to stay out of jail, and the support he needs to pull off his scams in Dubai. We wondered who it was – now we know.

Abdullah Al Mansoori represents Dubai – the showcase for the Arab world. He is entrusted with, among other things, an important aspect of Dubai’s PR – he is Director for Corporate Support at the Government of Dubai Media Office (GDMO), and responsible for managing the Finance, Procurement, IT & Information Security, Legal and Human Capital departments of the organisation.

One would think that someone in his position would minimally do a simple google search of anyone he was going to go into business with, let alone someone he was endorsing. And with the incredible volume of documentation about Carl Freer’s scams, criminality, and convictions it is implausible that anyone who endeavoured to find the truth could fail to find that Carl Freer is untrustworthy.

Our source has told us that Abdullah Al Mansoori is not a bad man – he is just not the sharpest tool in the box. If he is unable to do the needed due diligence himself, or make sense of what he finds, he should at least get one of his staff to do some. We recommend Malek Al Malek, his Boss. Or, Abdullah Al Mansoori is more than welcome to contact us directly using the protocols we have, and we would be more than happy to provide additional, as yet un-released, information on Carl Freer.

Abdullah Al Mansoori could even contact Rachael (rachel@watstock.com) who is reported to have disagreements with the constant duplicity in the Carl Freer camp.

Abdullah Al Mansoori should feel no shame for having fallen for the Carl Freer love bombing he will have been subjected to. Better men than he have fallen for the wily ways of Carl Freer and believed they were his best friend, honoured to have given him the last chance he needs to make a success of life, and guaranteed a place in paradise for their generosity.

But Abdullah Al Mansoori should know for a fact that there are no happy ex-Carl Freer partners – other than Mafia connections who continue to profit from his thieving.

Think about it. What does a criminal bring to the table in Dubai? A criminal with no formal education; a criminal who has been smooth talking and scamming money out of people since he was 16; a criminal who has an unmatched and spectacular list of failed endeavours to his name; a criminal who has never made an honest dollar in his life. (Link to previous article).

Does anyone honestly think he brings a deep understanding of artificial intelligence? Or that he is someone that should be entrusted with other people’s money?

If he were a private citizen, Abdullah Al Mansoori could do what he liked. However, he is obliged to safeguard both the integrity of his Family name, and, due to his position, that of Dubai. His judgement in this matter will come under scrutiny.

Abdulla Al Mansoori’s endorsement if a known criminal could undermine the trust in the UAE government

Abdulla Al Mansoori is obliged to give an honest account of his business partner’s previous criminal history before seeking investment or attracting clients; and he must know that when they get scammed and seek redress for their losses, his association with a known criminal will become an issue – even in Dubai.

If common sense doesn’t work, perhaps Abdulla Al Mansoori will be saved by the Intervention of senior members of the Al Mansoori family – They could point out that a signed promissory note from Carl Freer means nothing – Having the intellectual property transferred into your name as security means nothing – Holding his share in trust until the company is profitable means nothing – These are the make-up points of the fraud – Previous partners and business associates have been given the same security and still got cheated out of millions.

We suggest he updates his linkedin page in order that Seven Capitals LLC, Savola Group, Mubadala, Audax and Quilvest Private Equity know exactly who they are dealing with.
